Nois This plum (which should properly be called the St. Martin's, though as it was also claimed to have been raised by an English nurseryman, it seems difficult to rid it of that title,) proves, with us, to be an exceedingly valuable, late variety. Indeed, it is so late, that we fear, to the north of this, it would not come to ma- turity. It grows vigorously, bears regularly and heavily, and would prove a valuable market fruit. The flavour is excellent. Branches downy. Fruit of me- dium size, nearly round, with a well marked suture running along one side. Skin light purplish-red, with a thin blue bloom. Stalk pretty stout, three-fourths of an inch long, set nearly even with the surface. Flesh yellowish, rather firm and crisp, juicy, with a rich vinous flavour, separating almost entirely from the Fig. 119. Cw'^ Late Red, stone. October and 52. Cheston. Thomp. Lind. Matchless. Lang.
